Many Are Determined to Prevent an El-Sayed Victory

Whatever one thinks of Mike Rogers, the Republican candidate for Senate from Michigan — he looks good to me — many people see the most important task as preventing his opponent, the anti-Israel Muslim Abdul el-Sayed, from becoming a senator. El-Sayed has denied that the Jewish state has a right to exist. He has repeatedly accused Israel of committing “genocide.” El-Sayed’s birth mother, Fatten Elkomy, worked for the Islamic American Relief Agency, also known as the IARA. The U.S. Treasury Department in 2004 designated the network as an organization supporting terrorism, including support for Osama bin Laden and Hamas. Treasury documents also stated that as early as 2003, the organization was “responsible for moving funds to the Palestinian territories for use in terrorist activities, notably serving as a conduit to Hamas in one Western European country.”
